I have been told that I have Pindo Palm, however the seed pods do not appear consistent with a Jelly Palm.  I have attached a picture for hopeful ID assistance.

Looks like a Pindo to me - Butia odorata.

The 'seed pods' are actually unopened flower spathes...hopefully they'll flower then set seed for you in a few months. Good luck!

Welcome to PalmTalk.  That's a good looking palm.  Would you like to post more pictures of it?  Not for the ID, which I think Jonathan has right.  Just for pictures of a Charleston, SC palm.

I noticed , on mine , the spathe is very similar in appearance to a Syagrus R. but smaller. The inflorescence is a pink color .The spathe from a Queen can be made into a small canoe ! Harry

@JayK welcome to Palmtalk!  It's definitely a Butia, aka Pindo palm.  The seed pods on mine are more cylindrical instead of bulging out towards the end.  But that could just be random genetic variation.  Here's some additional photos:

I noticed that too with my odorata.  Flower spathes just shot up like a rocket - all 4 of them!  No shortage of fruit this year.  Lots of variability with this species.  After waiting 6 years it finally flowered last month for the first time.
